The ramie, one of the oldest vegetable fibers, has been used for thousands of years as garments and table linens in East Asia for its smooth lustrous beauty as well as its practicality for being strong, resistant to insect attack and antibacterial.

This unique handmade ramie blue and white placemat is decorated with a checkered pattern against the pure white. The combination of a modern design with the traditional white ramie background makes this placemat a unique piece of table linen.
